battle for reelection. a florida judge ruled against his request to impound ballots and voting machines over voting irregularities. the congressman is losing to democratic challenger patrick murphy by 2,600 votes. and as for the state of florida as a whole, the presidential votes are still being counted. while the florida vote could be close enough for a recount, the romney campaign has conceded the race. no word as to when the state might certify that result. >>> last week it was so nice and warm! and tonight it is a very different story! paul? >> big deal , big change. we had record highs as recently as tuesday. and tonight, we have a frost advisory! those of you watching us in marin county and sonoma, and napa, are this is for you. and that's a change from 6:00 tonight. you're under a frost advisory with overnight lows pretty close to freezing. bring the pets inside! and cover any tender vegetation. temperatures outside, pretty chilly. san raphael, 47, santa rosa 48. napa, fairfield, concord, livermore. this is mount diablo, a dusting of snowfall in inland areas this morning

, pennsylvania and florida. while much of the focus has been on the economy, green says here at the end of the campaign, other social issues may play an important role. >> there's some strong incentives for the parties to reach out for secondary issues. issues like women's rights, religious liberty, the environment, foreign policy. because if voters are evenly divided on their most salient issue, the economy, they're going to make their decision perhaps on some of these secondary issues. issues that they don't regard as the most important, but they might not be able to choose between governor romney and president obama on something like unemployment, so some of these other issues may matter. >> both candidates have attempted to apply moral and religious language to their economic policies. >> i think it's, frankly, not moral for my generation to keep spending massively more than we take in, knowing those burdens are going to be passed on to the next generation and they're going to be paying the interest and the principal all their lives. >> if i'm willing to give something up as somebody w

of violence in tallahassee florida two people were wounded in a shooting outside a wal- mart. police say it was a disagreement over a parking space. in the bay area no major problems as shoppers flooded businesses like best buy and target with more stores now opening in the predawn hours. the rush was largely over by lunchtime. so why all the effort on a holiday morning? >> we've investigated if we could probably get the same price all year and usually black friday is it. >> now, it won't be clear for a few days how many shoppers hit the growing number of stores that actually opened on thanksgiving itself. now as for the alleged bargains out there today don't worry if you slept in the wall street journal looked at six years worth of retail data and found that for many gift items prices were dropped as we get closer to christmas. other hot are products are at their lowest price before the holiday season. that's not to say there weren't a few door buster deals but realistically in the crowds it probably wasn't going to save you a lot of money. >>> protests across the country didn't see

. the latest projections say he secured 303 electoral votes. mitt romney took 206. florida is the only state yet to report. officials there are still counting ballots. reuters says the popular vote was 50% to 49% in obama's favor. obama gave his victory speech in the early hours of wednesday in chicago, illinois. he laid out a vision for his second term. >> the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an american family and we rise our fall together as one nation and as one people. and in the coming weeks and months, i am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together, reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. we've got more work to do. >>> romney made his concession speech in boston, massachusetts. >> i so wish, i so wish that i had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction. but the nation chose another leader. so ann and i join with you to earnestly pray for him and

in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, ohio, florida, virginia, that is surprising, but health care, in the end, i think virginia was closest as far as like and kiss like, you dislike but it was like we like it. good stuff came up front, and bad stuff is about to hit us in the you know what next year, but they looked it that shocked me. >> in some of those states you are right, but i'm talking national poll, that said, we do not like that solution, yes something does need to be done about rising costs, and rising costs of health care, but that is not the solution they wanted this president, used the power of the bully pulpit to get members of the house to walk the blank, they did, and some did not come back that is something he wanted to force through. so, here is what business owners are afraid of. he has his agenda with green energy crowd, we have already wasted billions of dollars but he will continue to try to push that, and continue to roll out obamacare. and there is still so much hidden stuff. he will try to force john boehner and the republicans into agreeing to something te

of stores from south florida to southern california. people have their tent, tvs and computers to pass the time. so they can then be first in line to buy new tvs and computers and more. you can forget the old thanksgiving tradition. >> we have a couple of air mattresss, so comfortable sleeping. propane heat. it stays 90-degrees. most of the comfort at home. >> a lot of us out here that are six or seven in line have done it for years. a thanksgiving family outside our family. the savings we get by doing this is incredible. i mean, i save anywhere from 1,000 to $2,000. >> reporter: and the best part of camping out five or six days ahead of the actual black friday in case you didn't know it, it is, of course you get to be the front of the mob that storms the store in the classic black friday mite night freak out. national survey of america finds 147 million americans do plan to shop for the holidays this friday, saturday or sunday. slightly down from last year. as will we can only hope the incidents of loss. >> something tells me that you are not a black friday thanksgiving camper, a

bring in senator sax bee chambliss from florida. joins us from washington. senator, i heard you with chris wallace and i watched your briefing and i know this is a lot of stuff you can't talk about because it was closed and all that. i'm a simple man. i'm going to walk through it with you. on september 14, c.i.a. chief david petraeus made a statement that indicated it was a spontaneous demonstration caused by a crazy videotape. that was echoed by the u.n. ambassador, susan rice. all right? that's what happened. yet cables from the c.i.a. out of tripoli, libya, say the day after it was a terrorist attack, an organized terrorist attack with heavy weaponry. so you got your own c.i.a. chief contradicting his guys in libya. am i accurate so far? >> well, you're right. the director petraeus did say a couple of days later that based on the information they had, that they thought that this was an act of violence that arose out of a protest. >> bill: okay. but that's impossible -- >> that is what he said. >> bill: yeah. but that's impossible because the cables that fox news read say the c.i.a

carolina. what will he have to do after that to get up to 270? we still have two states out, florida and virginia, which were going to be my next two states he would need to win. they are still undecided at this point. with obama slightly ahead in both of them. basically it looks like it stops. he would have needed to do florida and virginia and then he would need to get into colorado, iowa, new hampshire. even winning all of that he would be three short of 270. it was pretty clear going into election day that a whole lot had to happen right for romney to get over to 70. it did not happen. it seemed to peter out either after north carolina in that sequence or maybe even florida or virginia wants all the votes are counted, maybe one or theoretically both of them fall to him, but probably not. that is where it was. there was one. back around -- looking at the sequencing of it. you go back to before the first debate. mitt romney was dead in the water and not moving. he was not far behind the for the first debate. it looks like a really hard it 3-5 points. i had a chance to look that the

there was some serious violence. in tallahassee, florida, two people were wounded in a shooting outside a walmart. mese say it was a disagreement over a parking space. in the bay area, no major problems as shoppers flooded businesses such as best buy and target. with more stores opening in the pre-dawn hours the rush was largely over by lunchtime. why all the effort on a holiday morning? >> we've investigated on if we could probably get the same price all year, and usually black friday is it. >> won't be clear for a few days how many shoppers hit the growing number of stores that actually hoped on thanksgiving day itself. as for those alleged bargains out there today, i guess you don't have to worry if you slept in and missed it. the wall street journal looked at six years of retail data and found for many gift items, prices will actually drop closer to christmas. other hot products such as flat screen televisions usually hit their lowest price points before the holiday season even happens, not to say there weren't a few door buster deals out there, but realistically braving the crowds

. now, president obama at a rally in hollywood, florida. this is one of four stops for the president. this is about an hour. >> hello, florida. are you fired up? are you ready to go? i am sorry, i could i hear you. are you fired up? ready to go? let me tell you why i am here. because i love barack obama. the first time i met him as when he came to florida in february of 2009. he came here because he wanted to help our public-school teachers, he wanted to help our law enforcement officers, he wanted to help our fire fighters. it was the recovery act. when i was your governor, the last two years were the first two years of his presidency. this president came here to help us. we were looking at a hole in our budget deeper than the marriott entrenched. -- mariana trench. the president was talking about the stimulus come of their group -- recovery act, and he got it done. one man came here and got it done, president barack obama. but he did not stop there. about a year after that, florida had the most serious environmental disaster in the history of our country. the bp oil spill. guess wh

not florida for once. important updates coming up there including what may be a deconcession by a democrat who previously thought he had lost in a big important u.s. senate race. that's all ahead. >>> but we have to begin with breaking news out of washington. "the washington post" is reporting tonight that president obama is considering massachusetts senator john kerry as his new secretary of defense. that's right, defense. putting the decorated veteran and former presidential candidate in charge at the pentagon and not at the state department, as had been widely speculated. "the washington post" is sourcing its reporting to unnamed senior administration officials. senator kerry is also not commenting tonight. if senator kerry does move to the cabinet for defense or any other post, there will be an immediate political question for the democrats as to what happens to his u.s. senate seat in massachusetts. senator kerry had mostly been talked about as a potential replacement for secretary of state hillary clinton. the post reporting tonight that that nomination for secretary of stat

in tampa bay, florida in 2010. jill kelley a well-known socialite in tampa bay, married to a, reunient surgeon and she hosted parties for top military brass at central command and would shop with general petraeus' wife holly, their families spent christmas together, and allen exchanged hundreds of e-mails that were 20,000 to 30,000 pages long when printed out with jill kelley and many characterized as being flirtatious but not security-related or dealing with government contracts, her end froms say they were harmless and might have included sweetheart here and there and allen insists he did not have a sexual affair with jill kelley and paula broadwell has hired an attorney. and her father told the newspaper that this is about something else entirely and the truth will come out. there is a lot more that going to come out. you wait-and-see. there is a lot more than meets the eye. she went running this morning but has not spoken to the press. >>shepard: we have learned that both of the generals bought involved with a custody dispute with jill kelly's sister. what is that about.

florida was in 2000 what ohio was in 2004. ohio decided the election in 2004. neil: yeah, yeah. all the polls i see, mayor, show always one, two, three, some have five for the president. >> that is within the margin of able to do something about it within the last. neil: are they always like that? >> the reality is i remember 'ada weekend before the election was virtually a tie. carter, reagan winning by eight, nine points, on election day 2004 i was in this very studio. it was winning by six points. that was as late as 7:00 at night. neil: is it your sense what @efines this ultimately is the economy? the obama administration has been saying the trend is our friend, things are better, not great but better. americans are feeling better, consumer confidence is better. and give me another four years to make it even better than that. >> my instinct is the america has played itself out. 47-47. they will make their decision based on the economy. that group of economy undecided, they have had plenty of information to make up their mind. something like this libya thing could flip it. i don't kn

trail, keeping pace with the president, with swing state visits to florida, virginia, new hampshire and ohio, fox news political chief correspondent carl cameron with our report. >> reporter: mitt romney hit the states. >> we could begin a better tomorrow, tomorrow. and with the help of the people in florida that is what is going to happen. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: first stop, florida, a shot at president to. >> he cared more about a liberal agenda nene -- then about repairing the economy dobamacare create now jobs. >> latinos are big in florida, nationwide romney hoped to be polling among them in mid 30s, he has been in high 20 for months, next stop is virginia, first lynch berg. >> let's get everyone we know you on to vote tuesday. every voter, get them out. >> reporter: fairfax, to fortify romney's narrow edge in polls pump up the crucial get out the vote effort. and supporters booed mention of romney. >> no, no. don't book vote. -- don't boo, vote. >> president obama asked his supporters to vote for revenge. i ask the american people to vote for love of the country. >>

scandal, a top u.s. commander under investigation and a florida socialite allegedly behaving badly via e-mail. at the center of it all, technology. i talked with human behavior expert wendy walsh about why sex and technology have become intertwined. >> because it's become a stimulus. here are stats that might freak you out. let me get this right. single guys can send pornography either on their computers or iphones for about three times four times a week. married times, over seven times a week for 20 minutes. now they're getting platonic texts and e-mails from average people but it can be a little confusing in the mind. if you don't believe pornography has become addictive, think of this. a full one-third of all content on the internet is pornography. so it's a big market. >> you say pornography is affecting our text messages. are you talking about sexting? >> well, because it's a paired stimulus. what happens is men are using their iphones and their computers as sources of arousal. and they also use in it courtship and dating. their brains also become addicted to a constant new stream o

romney's ideas won't work. >> but here's the thing, florida. we know what change looks like. what governor romney's offering ain't it. giving more power back to the biggest banks, that's not change. another $5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, that's not change. refusing to answer questions about the details of our policies until after the election, that's definitely not change. >> president obama also told voters that he would fight hard for them and their families. and if you hope the polls will shed some light on who will win? forget about it. cnn editor paul stein hauser is here to do the math for us. paul, what do the national polls look like? >> two days to go, and we have four polls that are nonpartisan and came out since midnight. let's start with the abc news/"washington post." 48% of likely voters supporting the president. 48% supporting mitt romney. how about nbc news/"wall street journal," pretty much the same story, a 1 percentage point ahead of mitt romney. and pugh research center, they came out with obama with a 3 point advantage. that's within the sampling error. this

populations, in florida, virginia, less so in colorado. the black population is fairly small. nevada, definitely. the right in the country and especially the ultraconservatives in the republican party had pushed african-americans and hispanics together. they have a politics where sort of a nasty braggadocio, if you watch the primaries, where you have to be slashed and burn in how you attack your enemies, that very much does not go over with hispanics. some of the things that were said -- i have spoken to a well known latino pollster about this. he said a white person has friends and extended family -- that number is 8. a hispanic person has that number at about 50. if you are a slash and burn person, that is your style, you are not going to go over well with latinos. african americans and latinos have been pushed together. if you look at it in class terms, african-americans, the largest proportion of african americans and latinos are working class and have similar interests in terms of government. >> any additional questions? >> you were talking about the turnout during the midterms.

florida and virginia, it is a moot point. if he does not win both florida and virginia that say moot point. >> he lost. mitt romney has lost. and as much as i'm sure folks in boston want to feel good, they worked hard, it has been long, mitt romney has been running for 4 years. neil: who is their new rising star. >> paul ryan comes out well. neil: really? >> he did not sizzle. lou: he lost wisconsin. neil: they were not winning wisconsin. >> no way. lou: why would you bridge him on. >> he was -- >> you don't think he was disappointing on the stump. >> he did fine. rubio is going to be there. lou: i'll buy rubio. neil: what about chris christie, lou's friend. >> sorry. i think what chri chris christid with the storm, not just emprissinembracing the presiden. he is too moderate on social issues for republican base. neil: you say republican party will go hard right? >> no, they are going to go, is going to be younger, more libertarianish. this is a party that will embrace fiscal conservativism. neil: do you agree dave? >> well, i think they will keep with fiscal conservative implem

congress to discuss the attack. >>shepard: a top florida republican says the election was a disaster. congresswoman is not talking about the democrat winning but the thousands of votes that are still waiting to be counseled. florida is the only state that hasn't reported a winner in the presidential race and we are approaching 44 hours sin the last of the polls closed. it doesn't matter in the long haul or in the big picture, president obama won without the sunshine state. still, tell years after the election mess held up the entire election a lot of folks there are asking, how could the same thing happen again? well, it is not a secret. phil keating is in south florida. we know what happened. phil: a last things all combining but first the big news, miami dade county has completed counting the votes, and miami dade is no longer counting. but broward and palm beach it will counting as we speak. also jumping out, the honkest ballots taking voters 30 minutes to an hour to fill it out and then a strong voter turn out leading to the long lines plus the absentee ballots tens of thousands

ground states. ohio, virginia, and florida. steve brown is live in mansfield, ohio, peter doocy live in fairfax, virginia, and steve harrigan, tampa, florida. and steve brown in ohio, a state that many say is a must-win for either candidate. steve. >> reporter: hey there, uma, yeah, basically two, you can break ohio down into two contests, a contest that's leading up to election day and that's the early vote and there's the contest that goes on on election day and the regular voting and the early vote is the contest that's going on right now. and we're in the final hour of early voting here on saturday, it ran into 8 until 2, or runs from 8 until 2 here, and this is a very important portion of the equation, for the obama campaign. they have really made this a center piece of their particular strategy and had a lot of help in the persons of travelling here to the state of ohio, to help them get that vote out, to try and gin up the excitement, if you will, a little bit about getting those votes done early. richard trumka, the president of the afl-cio was speaking at an event in columbu

left with the president for a full day of campaigning in new hampshire, florida, ohio, and colorado, i spoke to white house senior adviser david plouffe. welcome back to "meet th press." >> thank you for having me, david. >> the endellible images this week had to do with hurricane sandy and an impact on this race because of the president's time and the images that we saw, meeting with governor christie in new jersey who as we heard gave him high marks touring the storm zone. and of course the images continue to be very, very difficult. but as we look at christie and the president together, was this the october surprise, these political foes, together in leadership, and christie giving the president such high marks? >> well, i don't think so, david. first of all, that's what leaders should do. we've had so many people affected. people lost loved ones. so many people out of power. really struggling. and so i think what's incumbent on leaders no matter where they come from or what political party, they are working together, and that's what you've seen. and it will take a long time to reco

in florida. that was darlene jones from wftv trying to get an answer from rick scott about this. voters stuck in line for eight hours and more in polling places around the state of florida after governor scott cut the days for early voting and refused to add any of them back when the lines were that long. he says it all worked fine. the right thing happened. florida officials say the lines pop upmostly in big cities with diverse population. they say that as if that's self-explanatory in terms of why you have long lines. but florida officials have you been to l.a.? really big city. we have been getting letters from people who vote in california where they opened tons and tons of polling places that serve much smaller groups of voters than the way you dole with it in florida. in california they vote at the nep tune society. they vote in their neighbor's garage. they voted at headquarters of the venice beach lifeguards. californians do not do is stand in line and wait eight hours to vote. after the cake splat of an election in florida and several other states, we're watching for id

focused on this and little else. in ohio they're doing a fantastic job. florida looks like a tremendous job. north carolina, virginia. wisnnin, we know what kind of job they're capable of doing because we saw it in the scott walker gubernatorial race earlier this year. same people, same fountain to -- same phone centers. the other battleground states we are seeing as well. one of the reasons the republicans are going into pennsylvania, the state party chairman has done a terrific ob with a massive ground game in the state of pennsylvania, same in michigan. the state republican chairman, 23 phone centers operating, humming and a presidential election year level in a state that has not drawn until recently much advertisement. now some of the outside groups are moving in, including crossroads, a group i am associated with. and part of the reason, looking at people like show stack in michigan and what the michigan gop has done and probably some of pennsylvania, and the republicans are pounding away on the ground game. we will see how well it does on election day. lou: real quickly, the econ
